Lovely thread Gerry... Well where do I start? Thank you to Bev, Debra, Liz, Baz and all the lovely people who have supported me through the last few months - I would be nothing without you. Thank you to Bendy for making me smile through my tears, to Daniel for showing us how adults should behave and to Gerry for reminding me of the good I have in me. Steedie - love you honey, thanks for the support, the friendship and the fun. Going to sound a bit sad now but I'd like to give myself a little pat on the back, I've had the toughest year ever and I'm still here. I've found an inner strength that I didn't know existed and I'm very proud of myself. Love to you all becx

I would like to say a big thank you to my husband, Paul. He is the most kind generous person I know. He is patient when I was going through a really bad patch and never questioned anything. He is a fantstic father and I couldn't imagine life with out him. I would also like to thank our families for the support and help that they have given us and thank everyone on here for the help they have given me. One last thing........I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and New Year. Nicola xx

Hi Gerry, What a nice thread,my list would take up a whole page Im sure,I too would like to thank so many of the kind people for the lookups,putting me on the trail of my search for my father,I am only days away now,waiting for a letter from someone who holds all the answers for me. I am due to renew my membership in 2 days time,which I certainly will. Then I will shout it all from the rooftops. Thank you everyone. Happy Christmas, and a Healthy new Year to you all. trish xxxx

I would like to say a Big Thankyou. to everyone who has helped me over the last year. As other people have said there are many of them to name... but with out their help I would be stuck.. up against that wall. Also can I say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on here.. Love Pat x

Thats better guys. You have restored my faith in the human kind!!

Always have to be careful when naming names, as there's the risk of leaving out someone special!! My very first cyber-friend on GR was my beloved Gaynor, so special to me. And Lindy in the Algarve who found my living (birth) uncle in South Africa within hours. There are many others on GR who I also spend happy times with on messenger, so you know exactly who you are! Personally, my mum and dad are the best, they have been fantastic in adopting me and giving me such a good start in life, and this year they have met and accepted my wonderful brother as part of the family. My husband and my son who support and encourage me in everything I do, they accompanied me on my search for my birth family and never complain at how much time I spent on GR & family history. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you, love Mandy :)

Also big thank you to Gaynor for being our strength on this board and Donna for all the love and kindness she has shown Gaynor two wonderful women LOve Debs.
